Flood 2013 Recovery Information

Roads and Construction

The Larimer County Public Works Division is transitioning from the flood rescue effort to the response and long-term recovery effort. Rebuilding the transportation infrastructure and establishing access (first temporary and then permanent) is the top priority. Information and updates will be posted here as they become available.

Current information

New Big Thompson survey benchmarks now available – Larimer County has set two new survey bench marks in the Glen Haven and Drake area. This will be valuable information for property owners and surveyors working in the canyon.

Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)

Public notice: CDOT requests permission to enter private property – The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has begun emergency repairs on flood-damaged US 34,
but in order to allow repairs to move forward, CDOT must obtain signed Permissions to Enter private property along the impacted corridors. Owners with property directly
abutted to, or very close to the highway, are urged to please email your name, address and contact information to
dot_icc_row@state.co.us to allow CDOT access.
Alternatively, property owners can call (970) 350-2168 to leave a message that will be returned by a CDOT Right-of-Way representative. In the event property owners are
not able to make contact with CDOT and provide a signed Permission to Enter, CDOT and/or its contractors and subcontractors may nevertheless need to enter private property
to facilitate the emergency reconstruction efforts. In the event that CDOT enters upon private property, as soon as is reasonable and practical thereafter, CDOT will
initiate its customary right-of-way acquisition process to ensure payment of just compensation as required by federal regulations, state statutes, and CDOT procedures.
